I'm a Max/MSP user for interactive applications, I have just started doing some work with sound and I need some help picking a good sound module with a reasonable price that would work well with Max. I have experience with Yamaha EX7 and Max but I'm looking for something a bit more up-to-date (for example USB connection would be nice!) do you think getting a workstation synth is a good idea? 

or should i look into rack + MIDI controller?

USB connection for what? Midi only? Or do you mean audio as well? vst

No. Hardware synthesizers are good for a lot of things, but workstation 

duties aren't it anymore, if you ask me. Perhaps getting a second 

computer to do these things would be cool?

> or should i look into rack + MIDI controller?

the list is just too long, if you ask me.

I'll try to help out if you get more specific reg. your needs and budget

I woluld tend to think , that maybe you should invest in VST plug-ins ect....

The list of high quality sounding syhths is now very extensive.

Now even comming in bundled packages ect....

what kind of sounds are you looking for ?
